Chapter 104 The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and Zuo Liangyu defeated Luo Yingshan
Gao Junshan returned to the lookout shed, looked down the mountain, and sure enough, he saw the officers and soldiers wriggling like ants, and he ordered the flag officer to wait for the order at any time.
When the officers and soldiers entered the preset area, Gao Junshan waved his hand and shouted: "Ignite!" ”
The flag officer waved two small red flags and signaled the ignition. In fact, Sun Hejing, who was waiting for the order on the mountainside, also heard Gao Junshan's order, and when he saw the signal sent by the flag officer, he ordered the fire to be lit.
Sun Hejing is also a disciple of Chongwen, and anyone who comes out of Chongwen Academy can understand the flag language, so he can immediately issue an ignition order without the flag language officer translating for him.
The earth shook with a violent loud bang, smoke rose into the sky, the smell of gunpowder mixed in the air, and many people choked on tears.
Gao Junshan had already popularized science for the soldiers before the battle, asking them to protect their ears before the explosion, so except for a few soldiers who were curious and did not listen to orders, all the soldiers were fine.
As soon as the explosion sounded, the earth was like an angry dragon, shaking its body, only to see that the rocks halfway up the mountain suddenly broke and poured down, making a loud rumbling sound, and the raging mudslide rolled up billowing dust, covering half of the sky.
In an instant, a thick layer of mud and rocks was covered under the valley, and the trees in the middle of the mountain were gone, not to mention the flesh and blood officers and soldiers.
Gao Junshan's civil and military forces had never seen a similar formation, and most of the 50,000 troops were swallowed up by mud and rocks in an instant, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were like headless flies, scurrying around. One by one, they were stunned and forgot to charge.
Gao Junshan saw the scene of the undead officers and soldiers in a mess from the lookout shed, how long will it take to not charge now? He gave an order to Zhou Shichen beside him, hurriedly issued the command flag, beat the war drums and rushed to kill the enemy troops under the mountain.
The earth-shattering war drums awakened the fighting spirit of the soldiers, who rushed down the valley like fierce tigers and fought against the unburied officers and soldiers.
However, it shows that Zuo Liangyu, the main general of the army, is walking at the end of the team today, and when he thinks that the landslide occurred, he is not in the place where it was washed by the mudslide, so he was not buried by the mudslide.
Zuo Liangyu watched the landslide occur, and the flood-like mudslide rolled down from the mountainside, burying the men and horses in front of him under the mud and rocks. He himself was blown off his horse by a gust of wind, and by the time he got up, the sky was full of dust, choking everyone with tears and coughs.
General Liu Qian stumbled to Zuo Liangyu and asked, "Zuo Shuai, do you know what happened?" ”
Zuo Liangyu was very calm, he stepped on the war horse and glanced at the mountainside: "It should be a landslide, but it happened to be encountered by us." ”
"What do we do now?"
"Organize people to withdraw to Zhushan immediately!"
As soon as Zuo Liangyu's words fell, he suddenly heard the shouts and killings all over the mountain, and flags danced on the high mountain. The drums of war were pounding.
Liu Qian said: "Zuo Shuai, we have been ambushed. ”
"Impossible, impossible." Zuo Liangyu denied.
Liu Qianhu said suspiciously: "What the hell, this thief can know that there is a landslide today?" ”
Zuo Liangyu said: "Don't be verbose, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave!" ”
A pro-soldier came over and told Zuo Liangyu: "Report to Zuo Ye, Zuo Shao is gone." ”
Zuo Liangyu said anxiously: "Where did he go?" Find him out! ”
The soldier pointed to the mudslide in front of him and said, "I saw him rushing to the front." ”
I don't know if this is buried, Zuo Liangyu shook his head helplessly, and asked again: "Can you see Deputy Chief Luo?" ”
"Deputy Chief Luo was also buried." Someone answered.
Zuo Liangyu waved his hand: "Go back!" ”
The pro-soldier added another sentence, and Zuo Liangyu almost fell off his horse.
"Tell Zuo Ye, your official seal is also on Zuo Shao."
……
Gao Junshan won a complete victory in this battle, beheading 8,765 people, but only escaped more than 1,000 people from Zuo Liangyu.
Back in Fang County, Gao Junshan immediately held a summary meeting.
On the conference hall, Gao Junshan sits in the middle, and on the left hand side: Bai Lisha, Liu Hongru, Tian Wenju, Xu Yixian, Li Xin; On the right hand side sit: Cai Zhishan, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Zhou Shichen, Red Army Friends, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong.
Of course, the opening remarks were none other than Gao Junshan, he looked around and said dissatisfiedly: "There is nearly a month of preparation time for this battle, and there are still soldiers who violate orders before the battle, how do you generals lead the soldiers?" Before the war, it was repeatedly emphasized that both ears must be protected before the explosion, and since there are still people who violate my orders, there are thirty-four people who are deaf this time, right? Although there are only a few who are completely deaf, they do not carry out my orders, and they are to blame! These violators must be punished, let them remember for a long time, and how to punish you have discussed and submitted it to me. ”
Bailisha said: "No need to discuss, just expel them and never hire them." ”
Gao Junshan agreed: "That's it!" An army with strict military discipline should not want to win a war. Now I want to talk about you generals, as a team of generals should not be in danger, even if they encounter emergencies, they must firmly carry out the battle order! What were you guys doing in the period after the explosion? You were all in a daze, looking at the rolling mudslide and not knowing what to do, forgetting to take your men and horses down the mountain, giving Zuo Liangyu enough time to escape. ”
Liu Hongru said: "King Qin, this can't be completely blamed on the generals, no one has ever witnessed this spectacular mudslide, and now this kind of scene is in front of their eyes, whoever sees it will be shocked and shocked!" It's a pity that Zuo Liangyu ran away. ”
"In short, you have to learn this lesson." Gao Junshan got off the donkey and changed the topic, "Let's study the next course of action, everyone expresses their opinions, and you all express your ideas." ”
He Renlong was the first to show his thoughts: "King Qin, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, capture Zhushan, and capture Zuo Liangyu alive." ”
Xu Yixian objected: "If you go to Zhushan now, Zuo Liangyu will already run to Yun County." In my opinion, it's better to go directly to Yun County. ”
Bailisha said: "As far as I know, what is now stationed in Yunxian is Wang Guoning, Chang De'an, Yang Youxian, Wang Guangen and other five battalions of men and horses who have surrendered to the imperial court, especially Wang Guangen, nicknamed 'King Xiao Qin', is a general who can fight well, and he knows the combat habits of our rebels very well, it is very difficult to deal with, I do not advocate going to Yunxian." ”
Cai Zhishan proposed: "We can first attack Zhushan, and then go west to Sichuan and seek development in Shudi." ”
Tian Wenju objected: "If you go around like this, it's better to follow Cao Cao directly to Daning." ”
Gao Junshan was not satisfied with the opinions of these people, and he said: "Luo Rucai left us this time, obviously to part ways with us, so it is impossible to go to Daning to meet Luo Rucai." After several years of southern conquest and northern war, I think it is not the best time to enter Sichuan, we still have to base ourselves on Huguang first, and then develop in Sichuan. ”
